News to know

As the East Coast tries to recover from Irene, another storm is developing in the Atlantic Ocean. Tropical Storm Katia is gaining strength Tuesday and is expected to become a hurricane on Wednesday or Thursday. The storm is expected to hit near Puerto Rico by this weekend.

Quote of note

"Washington, D.C. you'd think by now they'd get the message. An earthquake, a hurricane, are you listening? The American people have done everything they possibly can, now it's time for an act of God and we're getting it." – Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, talking over the weekend in Florida. The Republican has drawn criticism for her comment, and she responded by saying, “I have a great sense of humor, and I think it's important to exhibit that humor sometimes when you are talking to people as well.”

Hot video

One of the most popular Irene videos is a flippant one – a streaker ran by during a live newscast. Watch the report below.
